Christos Malliaridis commented on SOLR-15929:
---------------------------------------------
We should also make sure that all files are up-to-date. I noticed a few
differences in some libraries.
Since we may not have a single source of truth for these files, we may end up
with inconsistencies anyway, but standardizing the approach of fetching the
content of these files should elp with that (more of a documentation task
probably).
> Clean up NOTICE and LICENSE files for Solr
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-15929
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15929
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Priority: Major
>
> Spinoff from SOLR-15862 and SOLR-2406:
> We need a total cleanup of both these files
> * Move lots of (C) notices from NOTICE to LICENSE file
> * Cross-check that we list all dependencies, and that removed deps (such as
> for DIH etc) are removed from NOTICE/LICENSE
> I wonder if
> [https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/licenses/README.committers.txt]
> should also be relocated to either `dev-docs/` or `help/` to make it easier
> to find. It is hard to get the license/notice stuff right, so we need a good
> guide for committers!
> See [https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html] for the requirements. PS:
> Any preference whether we should rename the files without {{.txt}} suffix?
> Also, our source and binary distributions are quite different, and would
> ideally have different LICENSE and NOTICE files compared to the binary
> distro. I think the Apache Whisker tool could potientailly help with this
> [https://creadur.apache.org/whisker/index.html] but have not looked deeply.
